Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“Jing Lei is right, Ali, you can’t get involved in this matter yourself.”

Huo Qing was also worried, which is why she sought help from so many martial arts masters.

If anything happens, at least I can distance myself from Chu Yueli.

"But if what's brought back today is truly raw material, they'll probably be able to make the weapons very soon. Isn't the white-robed sect leader keeping an eye on the manufacturing workshop for so long precisely for this batch of weapons?"

They feared that before they dared to move, the rebels would have already stolen their weapons.

“But we can’t just send people to protect these weapons. It’s like knowing there are rebels in the palace, we can’t just lead troops into the palace to protect the emperor. Your Highness, do you understand?” Jing Lei asked worriedly.

There have been far too many such incidents throughout history.

The prince led troops into the palace to protect the emperor, but in the end, he was wrongly accused of plotting regicide and rebellion.

The same principle applies today.

Is it possible that sending troops to protect weapons is seen by the emperor as sending troops to seize his weapons?

They can't afford to take that risk.

"Your Highness, please do not act rashly. We must come up with a foolproof plan."

Chu Yueli let out a breath and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."

……

That night, Chu Yueli went to a place alone.

Dear Prince.

Perhaps, Lu Fengjin is her last resort.

"I wonder what brings Fourth Princess Sister-in-law to see me so late?" Lu Fengjin hadn't expected her to come here.

I was in a hurry to come, but after thinking about it, I wondered why I was in such a rush. She's just the fourth princess's sister-in-law.

In the end, he didn't come over immediately; instead, he drank two cups of tea in his room before leisurely arriving.

They even brought someone with them.

One person he felt would definitely annoy Chu Yueli: Tuoba Feiyuan.

At this moment, Tuoba Feiyuan sat next to Lu Fengjin, and it seemed that he had regained his status as the master in the mansion.

There were maids serving him.

Lu Fengjin had been secretly observing Chu Yueli's expression.

But she remained calm, showing no surprise or other emotion whatsoever.

Lu Fengjin's mood became increasingly irritable.

"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law, what brings you here so late? If it's nothing important, I must go and keep Fei Yuan company." He squeezed Tuoba Fei Yuan's hand, without glancing at Chu Yue Li at all.

“I do have something important to discuss with my fifth brother, but I don’t want anyone else to be there to listen.”

Chu Yueli's gaze remained calm as she looked at them.

Lu Fengjin just didn't like her calm attitude. She really didn't feel anything when she saw him holding another woman's hand.

They were together for several years! A full five years, you know?

Does she truly not care about him at all anymore?

Lu Fengjin barely suppressed his displeasure and smiled, "Fourth Princess, have you forgotten that men and women should not touch each other? Is it late at night that you want to be alone with me in a room? Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, it will ruin my reputation?"

Tuoba Feiyuan was originally afraid to speak, but she has become much more restrained lately.

In addition, after undergoing castration, she was extremely haggard and looked ten years older than her age. She felt inferior and dared not speak carelessly.

But tonight, it seems like Ah Jin wants to use her for something?

Tuoba Feiyuan mustered her courage and took Lu Fengjin's arm, her face full of displeasure: "Ajin, why did she want to talk to you alone? Is she trying to seduce you?"
